In cash terms the typical LA1 5 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 151%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the LA1 5 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+37.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +16.6% | +13.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.1% | +1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
LA1 5 recorded 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 248 sales a year before the financial crisis and 142 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the LA1 5 market
This is a thin market: 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the LA1 district median, LA1 5 sits 29% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of LA1 5
LA1 5 falls under Lancaster, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £807 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £590 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,203, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Lancaster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £235,000 median purchase price, a rent of £807 a month (£9,684 a year) works out at a 4.1% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in LA: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LA area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £270,000 | £382,995 (+42%) | £550,000 (+44%) | £715,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £175,000 | £200,000 (+14%) | £250,000 (+25%) | £340,000 (+36%) | £492,500 (+45%) |

| Flat | £115,000 | £167,750 (+46%) | £265,000 (+58%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
